Been driving up and down Oregon, and a little into California (which I hate doing anymore...) exploring old 99.
You would be surprised how much still exists in Oregon.
The bigger towns often have two, one-way sections to alleviate traffic back when 99 was THE WAY to travel (Grants Pass, shland, Medford, Roseberg....)my wife doesn't like the one-way sections, but I grew up with them.
Yreka USED to have it, and if you come in from the north on the old (or the old-old) highway, you can see in a parking lot where the southbound veered off.
Now an alley, narrow road, and some buildings blocking, but you can still see it.
HATED Ashland.
Speed limit signs, right on the other side of the RR trestle, no warning, and there's a cop.
Blocked off streets yesterday, by order of the Council, to promote bicycling, busses, other forms of transportation.....and I looked at the town, and thought, geez, you depend on tourism (like, the Shakespeare Festival currently going on), and you expect folks to ride their bikes up from Redding, or take Metro from California?
MORONS.
Sad to see the closed businesses, empty buildings.
Still more of the 99 trek tomorrow.
Legs are killing me, but I'll probably survive.
You have to look sometimes to find the old right-of-way, as it's sometimes called "Bloom Ave." or some such rot, but with a map (or, Google maps!) it becomes quite obvious.
Gonna hit the antique shops in Roseberg in the morning.
